In his newest try, he tried to go after Trump on power costs. It didn’t finish nicely for him.

Final October, only a few days earlier than Harris misplaced, Newsom ordered California’s Public Utilities Fee, Air Sources Board and state Power Fee to generate concepts on how excessive prices of power, notably electrical energy, might be mitigated.

California’s residential and industrial electrical energy charges are the very best within the nation’s decrease 48 states, in accordance with a month-to-month compilation by the California Middle for Jobs & the Financial system, an adjunct to the California Enterprise Roundtable. Californians’ precise energy payments are the ninth-highest because of the state’s comparatively delicate local weather, the report discovered.
How awkward for Newsom.
If he does run for president, he’s not going to have the ability to skate previous this or any of his different failures in California.
